Ava by Artisan
San Francisco, California, United States
What it is
Ava by Artisan is a web-based AI business development representative tool for finding leads, enriching prospect information, sending outreach, and booking meetings for sales representatives. It searches more than 250 million verified B2B contacts and can enrich prospects using 22 or more data sources. Campaigns support personalized outreach across email and social, while call steps can be queued in a native dialer for representatives. Ava tests variations in message content, including subject lines, structure, calls to action, and tone, and shifts volume toward better-performing messages. It can qualify interested leads, address objections, and book meetings on representatives’ calendars, subject to team escalation rules. Teams can require outreach approval, constrain tone and calls to action, and pause campaigns. Ava does not place calls; it supplies representatives with a qualified prospect list, context, and talking points for dialing. Listed integrations include Salesforce and HubSpot sync, custom webhooks, Slack, calendar, and data tools. Artisan lists security controls including SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, SSO, SAML and SCIM, role-based access, audit logs, workspace isolation by brand, and AI guardrails. Pricing is available on request; the product FAQ says it is free to start.

The verdict
Ava brings prospect research, outreach, qualification, and meeting booking into a web-based sales workflow. Teams should note that representatives, not Ava, make calls and ask Artisan for plan pricing.
Who it suits
Ava may suit sales teams building or expanding outbound programs that want help with prospect discovery, qualification, and multichannel follow-up. It does not make sales calls, so representatives handle dialing.
